Explanation needed

Hi,

I always get confused by this, because we do not have the same in French; what are the rules for the following type of phrases:

A group of objects - An object group (object does not have the plural form)
An editor of document - A document editor (object does not have the plural form)

In some cases, I think the word can have the plural form, is it true?; is there an Internet link you can provide that explains how to use this type of phrase?

In some cases, I think the word can have the plural form, is it true? Not really. For all practical purposes, we can say that it's never plural.

  • In some cases, I think the word can have the plural form, is it true?

  • Maybe once in several thousand cases.
  • people mover is an example (a mechanized walkway as seen in airports).
